Label-Free Sensing of Human 8-Oxoguanine DNA Glycosylase Activity with a Nanopore.
ACS Sensors 2018 Februrary 24
Human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) plays a significant role in maintaining the genomic integrity of living organisms for its capability of repairing DNA lesions. Accurate detection of hOGG1 activity would greatly facilitate the screening and early diagnosis of diseases. In this work, we report a nanopore-based sensing strategy to probe the hOGG1 activity by employing the enzyme-catalytic cleavage reaction of DNA substrate. The hOGG1 specifically catalyzed the removal of the 8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxoG) and cleaved the DNA substrates immobilized on magnetic beads, thereby releasing the output DNA which would quantitatively produce the signature current events when subjected to α-hemolysin (α-HL) nanopore test. The approach enables the sensitive detection of hOGG1 activity without the need of any labeling or signal amplification route. Furthermore, the method can be applied to assay the inhibition of hOGG1 and evaluate the activity of endogenous hOGG1 in crude cell extracts. Importantly, since DNAs with specific sequences are the catalytic substrates of a wide variety of enzymes, the proposed strategy should be universally applicable for probing the activities of different types of enzymes with nanopore sensors.
